welcome! you definitely got a few chuckles out me with the most recent video steve how about putting a feed on there that us fireant users can grab as easily as the itunes one would be much appreciated for those interested, here is the feed with enclosures: http://theointment.com/?feed=rss2 btw, i noticed that you also have a link to feed:http://theointment.com/?feed=rss2 does that work for anyone? i thought it was supposed to be feed://theointment.com/?feed=rss2 Steve Tatham wrote: Just joined and I would like to introduce myself.

[videoblogging] feedburner media urls with ?d=
What option in feedburner causes their to be id #s attached to the end of a media filename? Is it the Total Stats Pro tracking of media enclosures?ie. http://feeds.feedburner.com/spainfulfilms.mp4?d=25 via:http://feeds.feedburner.com/spainfulfilmsThis feed doesnt work in FireAnt or any aggregator that currently uses typical file extention detection of media format (since often mime types in feeds are not accurate). Should'nt we get feedburner to modify it so its more cross-compatible (such as ending the url with .ext)? This is annoying and even though not technically wrong to do on feedburner's part, they should have taken this issue into consideration before breaking direct media urls like this. I dont want to write new code to handle 'special' direct media url formats. Once mime types are much more accurate, that's obviously the most proper way to detect a file format. but the reality is, file extensions hold weight rigth now. Unless someone can enlighten me to another approach. Worse case, i write code to work with these feedburner urls. But prefer to have feedburner do the mod.thanks,sull-- Sull http://vlogdir.com http://SpreadTheMedia.org SPONSORED LINKS Individual Fireant Use YAHOO!

[videoblogging] Re: pointing feed to a blogger page vs. web-page?
I wanted to answer your question yesturday but I didn't really understand what you are asking. But I think I get it now. Yes of course you can host your own vlog. You don't need to use blogger. It's just recomended by Free Vlog because it's free. It's easier to use some form of blog software like Wordpress or Moveable type and such for a lot of different reasons. Mostly because your content is more easily updated, managed, archived and syndicated using a blogging system. I personally wouldn't want to try to maintain my blog without some kind of software running it behind the scenes. That would take way too much time and effort. I use Wordpress on a paid host. My host is Dreamhost. You can find a link to my vlog in my sig below.

Re: [videoblogging] feedburner media urls with ?d=
true.but it would be so simple if redirect urls with parameters just added a file extension parameter at the end as well. that would be a friendlier approach.

Re: [videoblogging] feedburner media urls with ?d=
I was concerned about letting feedburner alter my links, but in the end I agree with Andreas. The file urls still end with the proper extensions. There is simply a query string on the url as well.I dont pretent to know whatever language it is your coding in, but in the languages I've used it's pretty easy to get the requested file name and extension from a url even if there are a bunch of query string variables at the end. Is that an option? Or, you could just check the extension after following any redirects. (although ideally you would not consider query strings as part of the file name even for a 200 http response). - Dave-- http://www.DavidMeade.com On 3/16/06, Andreas Haugstrup [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:These are normal URLs and if the software was using HTTP correctly (following redirects, breaking apart filename from query stringbefore checking for file extension) there would be no problems.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: pointing feed to a blogger page vs. web-page?
as with most things, if you use your own site, you generally get more control but also more responsibility you can put your chicklet anywhere you think it will do you some good (including the bottom of your email) blogspot is free and so it's popular many folks here also use other services like typepad and others many host their own blogs with tools like wordpress and others sometimes people use blogs just to get the feeds. that is, they post to a blog only to use the feed somewhere else. in this case they may not even care what the blog looks like. for example, someone might already have an existing web page where they have been posting a weekly video (i.e., plain old video on the web) and now they want to add a feed to that page. One way to do it would be to start posting each video's (hopefully unique) url in a blog in order to get a feed (for feedburner or whatever) and display that on the original video page in order to create a 'videocast' so it's doable, but personally i don't care for sites like that. i prefer vlogs, because generally there is more than just video and a feed (i.e., conversation). your choice of course. in fact you can even skip the whole "blog" thing if you like and just update (by hand) a simple rss file that is hosted on your own site, just as you would any html page (i.e., edit it). btw, i don't generally find much difference between the time it takes to upload a video and update a page on my own site versus creating a new vlog post using tools like blip.tv [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OK, i guess the keep-it-simple rule applies here on the forum, since i didn't get any replies from my kinda lengthy post yesterday (I think i figured out the diff between embedding and enclosures on my own...) but 2 simple questions remain: are there any drawbacks to using one's own site for vodcasting, as opposed to vlogging via a blogspot page? ie) IF its possible to put up the XML subscription chicklet on one's own webpage, then i'm wondering what functional differences there might be? forgive my ignorance, but is there a sizable contingency of bloggers doing this, or is it an against-the-grain minority?I suppose i'd just have to surf out there to see, but i haven't had a chance to peruse too many vlogs unfortunately...(my web connection has been mostlylimited to either cellphone when i'm in my RV, or sketchy web cafes when i'm traveling outside the country brazil currently... and that's part of the reason i'd ideally construct my vlog offline, and then just upload when i got to a web connection... vs. step by step posting in some expensive web cafe). thanks to anyone who could lend their experience and advise me. i'd like to only have to maintain ONE space where people can subscribe to my videos, if possible. and i think I'd prefer that it be my own site's video page, as opposed to a blogger vlog... or perhaps maintaining the 2 could be somewhat automated...? ie) if my site's video page could be 'fed' the videos (somehow thru RSS?) as they're added to my blogger page? ...have my site's video page "subscribe" to my blogger page's videos and update accordingly... now that'd be great! hoping someone could please let me know if this is feasible or even possible to do. and IF this is a relatively common technique, then i'd surely appreciate any URLs which demonstrate good examples of this... thanks!

Re: [videoblogging] feedburner media urls with ?d=
Just to reiterate... I believe these URLs work as expected in FireAnt. Please send me an RSS feed that uses this option in Feedburner so I can double check. Thanks.-JoshOn 3/16/06, Michael Sullivan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: true.but it would be so simple if redirect urls with parameters just added a file extension parameter at the end as well. that would be a friendlier approach. RSS aggregation of item enclosures were intended to be the actual direct url to media file. But, I suppose you cannot get around these redirects and url params on the enclosures for these tracking purposes and whatever else. Problem also is, i've seen redirect urls that do not hold proper header data and no reference to filename is url. This is just yet another standards issue. I did note that feedburner was not technically doing anything 'wrong' but its definately an annoyance one resolvable by simply adding the filename with extension at the end of the url string. why is that not less acceptable?

Re: [videoblogging] Re: pointing feed to a blogger page vs. web-page?
Sure, you can use things other than blogger. Lots of people use word press and it's a really nice blogging tool you can use on your own site. It (and other blogging apps) will generally generate your RSS feed for you as well. As for embeding the video to be played within the webpage, there are several ways to do this. One great tool is this little script that will generate the embed code for you. http://embedthevideo.com/ (created by Joshua Kinberg). This tool will give you the code to use in your blog to allow for a pop-up player to apear with the embeded video, while still providing a direct link to the movie on the main page. (which is what most systems will search for when trying to automatically add enclosures) I myself use a custom built blogging solution - so yeah you can do it however you like. I have often considered moving to word press - it's nice ... someday I probably will.- Dave http://www.davidmeade.com SPONSORED LINKS Individual Fireant Use YAHOO!

Re: [videoblogging] feedburner media urls with ?d=
David,I know, you are correct. I am not going to argue that frome a technical point of view, these urls can be handled by media aggreators. I want to debate now whether services like feedburner or any other that alters actual enclosure urls should follow some sort of standard or not. What do you think? On 3/16/06, David Meade [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was concerned about letting feedburner alter my links, but in the end I agree with Andreas. The file urls still end with the proper extensions. There is simply a query string on the url as well.I dont pretent to know whatever language it is your coding in, but in the languages I've used it's pretty easy to get the requested file name and extension from a url even if there are a bunch of query string variables at the end. Is that an option? Or, you could just check the extension after following any redirects.

Well, on one hand ... If I were feedburner I probably would have put filename=origional_file.mov at the end. Just make sure they werent going to break any systems already in place. I agree with you there, it seems a simple safe guard for backward compatability. On the other hand ... They're feed makers not really feed aggregators ... It's possible it just never occured to them that some systems might not be acting on the acrual filename but rather a larger portion of the url. I'm not sure the url system they've used is any more 'silly' than it is to expect them to tack on a query string variable they dont actually need to recieve in order to provide the media.All that being said, yeah I think it would be great if some standard could be agreed upon such that enclosure redirects should always end with the filename ... why not?

Re: [videoblogging] feedburner media urls with ?d=
this url is logical and cross-compatible http://feeds.feedburner.com/ spainfulfilms?d=25file=fashion05POD.mp4 I agree with this. If the file is not a real file but rather a redirect then it shouldn't have a file extension like .mp4. Not to mention the current way Feedburner has it set up, it looks like each enclosure is actually the same file (i.e. spainfulfilems.mp4). If the URL were like the one above then there would be a lot less confusion IMHO. -Josh On 3/16/06, Michael Sullivan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: edit: this url is logical and cross-compatible http://feeds.feedburner.com/ spainfulfilms?d=25file=fashion05POD.mp4 On 3/16/06, Michael Sullivan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: my problem is just because i technically can figure out the media format by taking the scenic route, why shouldnt a redirect url to a media file frickn include the media file name in it as well and make life easier for everyone. no? to me, this url is silly. it includes a fake filename based on the channel name and file extension. yes, more silly than my expectation of such urls following a logical standard. i dont care if i can technically 'handle' a redirect or reading header info to load a proper media player. i shouldnt have to care if other services are not caring about preserving logic in an enclosure url. whats the difference? this url is stupid and self serving. http://feeds.feedburner.com/spainfulfilms.mp4?d=25 this url is logical and cross-compatible http://www.cinemabank.co.uk/spainful/MP4/fashion05POD.mp4 let's argue that point, and put the technical feasibility to the side for now. anyone have an opinion on this? sull On 3/16/06, Michael Sullivan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://feeds.feedburner.com/spainfulfilms.mp4?d=25 is a redirect for: http://www.cinemabank.co.uk/spainful/MP4/fashion05POD.mp4 what would be wrong with this format instead? http://feeds.feedburner.com/ spainfulfilms?d=25file=fashion05POD.mp4 On 3/16/06, Michael Sullivan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: true. but it would be so simple if redirect urls with parameters just added a file extension parameter at the end as well. that would be a friendlier approach.

Problem also is, i've seen redirect urls that do not hold proper header data and no reference to filename is url. This is just yet another standards issue. I did note that feedburner was not technically doing anything 'wrong' but its definately an annoyance one resolvable by simply adding the filename with extension at the end of the url string. why is that not less acceptable?

Ideally, aggrigators would correctly recognize what part of the url is a filename and what part is a query string (and correctly follow redirects before bothering with any of that)right, that would be ideal but it can get messy. and if i wanted to display the filename by pulling it out of such a url, in the feedburner case... the filename is fake ( channelname.ext). anyway, i just added quick fix based on mime-type from the RSS.which is another chaotic mess!! totally not reliable.ie. to initiate Quicktime... i'm checking for one of the following: video/quicktime video/mov video/mp4v video/mp4 video/x-mp4 video/x-m4v video/m4v video/3gpp2 video/3gpp video/mpeg video/avithis is what I use in my vodcast playlist generator which uses SMIL/QT.am I missing any :) where is the best master list of media mime types?

Re: [videoblogging] feedburner media urls with ?d=
You're correct. I just tried this feed and got the same error you describe. I thought we were handling this correctly, but I guess we are not. I'll have to add this to the list and hopefully it will be available for the next release in a few weeks.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Top Ten Vlogging Mistakes
Hey,I'm back from SXSW. The Darknets panel was a good and touched on some of the copyright issues. Personally, I think a system where something like The Grey Album is illegal, doesn't work. Now the MPAA (they had a representative on the panel) and the RIAA still look at this as theft. As long as that's the case, things are not going to change. And they certainly won't listen to me as an individual on the issue. But if people in aggregate willfully disregard these laws where they're just plain stupid, I think, they'll be forced to come up with some sort of solution. Just as background - I come at this as an artist who very much respects people's right to get paid for their work and on the other hand I also believe that by contributing to and participating in culture (popular and otherwise) you give up total control over your work. A few years ago I made a short film about my brother and I playing Star Trek as kids (here's the link all you fellow Star Trek nerds: http://www.michaelverdi.com/video/mjplaystartrek.mov ). I wrote to Paramount asking for the right to use the tricorder and transporter sounds. What I got back from them was a letter explaining how I could not use (with no option to license for a fee) those sounds along with the words Spock, Enterprise or Phaser. I just think that's complete bullshit. We didn't play Star Voyages as kids or run around with Quadcorders or something. It was Star Trek. Those are my memories and this film is my way of remembering. I don't really give a shit if you've trademarked that stuff - it's part of the culture and they've benefited from that by both ripping lots of others off in the ideas behind it and in the billions of dollars they've made because of it. -Verdi SPONSORED LINKS Individual Fireant Use YAHOO!

[videoblogging] the Rise Up Network
Hi, I've written to this group about this project I've been working to develop, the Rise Up Network , a few times in the past, but seeing how many new media ventures are coming out that revolve around videoblogging, it has dawned on me that if I don't get this thing off the ground soon, my window of opportunity will have past. In that spirit, I'm currently talking to my boss about creating a television show comprised of various videoblogs from all over the world which will be called the RUNtv, and will then hopefully create the necessary inertia to actually develop the website I've been wanting to build for a very long while. In order to do this though, I need to know that enough people would be willing to send in DVDs of their material for possible inclusion in the show. At this point, I can't promise to be able to pay people -- as I work at a small TV station with a miniscule budget -- however, assuming I'm able to turn this into the project I've described below, I can promise that I will do my best to make sure that everyone who has helped out is helped out in return. The website for the Rise Up Network (www.riseupnetwork.com) is about to be torn down and replaced with a civic-space site. Look for that in the next couple weeks, in the mean-time, please let me know if you'd be interested in sending in DVDs for this sort of project and I'll start to compile a list to present to my boss next week. I've also attached a general run-down about what I've been trying to do with RUN, please let me know what you think. ** For the past year or so, I’ve been working to develop the Rise Up Network (RUN), a 501(c)3 working to provide the tools and resources necessary to facilitate the democratization of the media with a focus on video production and online distribution. Essentially, we are a group of people that are developing an online video community that harnesses the distribution power of videoblogs to create a database that will serve to help the end-user find the video that appeals to him or her. To that end, we plan to implement three primary methods to find what he or she is looking for. First off, all the videos will be sorted into a dynamic list of categories. Second, like Flickr or del.icio.us, the system will rely on visitors to be able to tag videos they come across with keywords they feel fit the video. Finally, using a dynamic rating system similar to that employed by Netflix, as the number of users rating videos reaches a critical mass, the system will direct them to videos that users with similar tastes also enjoyed. As open-media publication has demonstrated itself as being part of the long tail phenomenon, not all videos will appeal to all users and this rating system will help the visitor find the content most appealing to him or her. Additionally, the website will also feature an editorial page where new and worthwhile videos are brought to the attention of the community by members of the RUN staff. Participation as a contributing member of RUN involves creating a videoblog through any service, and creating an account on RUN using the RSS address. There are various free services to upload video onto the internet, so there is effectively no cost to participate in the community. Of course, video cameras are still unaffordable for many people and not everyone has internet access but we’ve got some ideas to help there as well. The business model of RUN involves a subscription service. For $20 a month, RUN members will receive a DVD compiled monthly out of the most noteworthy material assembled from contributing members who elect to participate by sending us their material on a DVD. In addition to these monthly compilations, subscribers are provided $10 spending money in which to donate to specific videos they elect to sponsor. Subscribers can donate as much or as little as they choose and are always free to recharge their accounts. Josh www.joshwolf.net Don't hate the media, become the media.- Jello Biafra Yahoo!

[videoblogging] Re: feedburner media urls with ?d=
Hi Michael, The option to enable or disable the track downloads feature is found on the Analyze Tab - Standard Stats (for free users) or Total Stats Pro (for pro users) by clicking the checkbox Item enclosure downloads (podcast downloads) It's a new option that we added with our Stats redesign at the beginning of the month and, like all of our services, is an opt-in feature by the publisher. Just to make sure, I also verified that Fireant was included in the list of podcatchers that were tested during QA. But if you see an outstanding issues, we'd be glad to look into it and do whatever we can to assist in resolving it. For this particular feed, we just tested on the latest version of Fireant on Mac and Windows XP and were able to subscribe to the feed and receive the media downloads just fine. Let us know if you see anything different. We definitely understand your concern on the format of the rewritten urls. Primarily, we always want to make sure that everything we do is standards compliant. This particular convention is same one that we've used for tracking clickthroughs on items for the last couple of years. Historically, it has worked well but we can definitely see where this can be confusing (even to us at times :) in the sense of url's that link to media files. On the other hand, manipulating the query parameters to meet logic that depends on the extension at the end of a link can also be considered to have a negative impact as it masks deeper problems in client code that prevent it from working correctly with standards based urls. Testing revealed that most clients handled things correctly and the couple of issues we received were followed up with close work with the client software author to make sure the issues are understood and resolvable. Nevertheless, we definitely give the feedback we receive either way much importance and will take it into account. I hope this explains the thinking behind the way its working now and look forward to any suggestions. Thank you so much for using feedburner and we're always open to your ideas.

Should'nt we get feedburner to modify it so its more cross-compatible (such as ending the url with .ext)? This is annoying and even though not technically wrong to do on feedburner's part, they should have taken this issue into consideration before breaking direct media urls like this. I dont want to write new code to handle 'special' direct media url formats. The file name still has a .mp4 extenstion. The ?id=25 is the query string. Without knowing for sure I'm guessing that FireANT fails because it doesn't follow redirects (the URL responds with a 302 header that points to the original video URL. So Feedburner has a correct filename ending in .mp4 and they are even sending the correct mime type (video/mp4). If an aggregator doesn't work with these URLs the aggregator needs to use a proper HTTP library. Setting up limitations like video files must have a file extension and you cannot use redirects are more than a little silly. This isn't a case of having to write special software to handle these special URLs. These are normal URLs and if the software was using HTTP correctly (following redirects, breaking apart filename from query string before checking for file extension) there would be no problems. -- Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen URL: http://www.solitude.dk/ Commentary on media, communication, culture and technology.

Hi Videoblogginggroup! My name is Chris Car and I am currently developing a video production and publishing platform named http://Stars-of-the-Web.net .

Re: [videoblogging] Re: What makes a good vlog?
Sorry to ressurect this long and finished thread but I was away and didn't get to add my 2¢ - and lord knows I love to do that.So I agree with those of you saying good is really good to me. Like all things good it's relative. Outside of that, what I think is good usually (but not always) has these things in common: Short - usually under 5 minutes, often under 3 minutes. I say this not because I'm really opposed to watching longer things but for two basic reasons - 1. it usually requires more work to make something short than to make it long and I appreaciate that. 2. To make something long and have it be as engaging as a well done short piece usually takes more time, energy, money and production skill than the average hobbiest can muster. After a while you might as well be trying to make a TV show or a film. Style and voice - I like things that, even if they are a single shot, have a very distinct style or voice to them. If you're going to be mundane please give us your unique take on that life.Passion or authenticity - I like when I can tell that the person who made it loves what they are doing. I also love when people show me something real and unmeadiated. -Verdi SPONSORED LINKS Individual Fireant Use YAHOO! GROUPS LINKS Visit your group "videoblogging" on the web.

[videoblogging] A Very Special Vlog Moment
OK, I was going to post about this vlog anyway, because it's a speech I gave to a bunch of non-vloggers (at Toastmasters), to introduce them to videoblogging. I focused on just watching videoblogs, not on how to create them (the speech is 5-7 minutes, so creation had to wait for another day). By the end, I think I'd convinced at least one fellow to start a written blog. #1 comment from the audience was that they wanted longer clips of the vlogs I showed. I found that amusing, considering I went over my time limit by almost a minute! Whoops! But even though I was going to post this anyway, I know you all want to see it, because in it, I FILMED A SCREEN! Yes, my worst nightmare! My #1 pet peeve about vlogging! And right after I'd been so high on my horse about it, too! A!!! So, anyway. Go. Enjoy. Mock me mercilessly for the awful film-screening part (or any part, for that matter). For shame.

This is an identical URL: http://feeds.feedburner.com/spainfulfilms?file=fashion05POD.mp4id=25 Should it always be file or should other values be permitted? What are the security implications of identifying a filename via the query string? This is a classic case of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. There *is* a standard handling these issues. It's called HTTP, and it's very stable and very well supported. If your library can't handle basic HTTP features like 302 headers and seperating the filename from the query string, you need to get a new library. If you want to find the type of file behind a URL it's an easy three step process: 1. Resolve all redirects (your library should do this for you). 2. Check the Content-type header for a mime type. If this is a known video format, great if not... 3. Check the file name. If it ends in .mp4, .m4v or another known troublemaker *and* the content-type is set to text/plain assume that it's an mp4. If not assume you're recieving text/plain. Not rocket science. If your HTTP library is faulty then enclosures will be the least of your worries. Fix your library instead of asking the whole wide world to adopt some arbitrary format. There are issues with HTTP, but this ain't one of them. -- Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen URL: http://www.solitude.dk/ Commentary on media, communication, culture and technology. Yahoo!

Just make sure they werent going to break any systems already in place. I agree with you there, it seems a simple safe guard for backward compatability. It's not a case of backwards compatability. If file names aren't being resolved it's a bug that should be fixed asap. Relying on a query string value corrupts the value of the URL (suddenly the filename is not the filename. The filename is actually an arbutrary query string value). That creates more problems than it solves. All that being said, yeah I think it would be great if some standard could be agreed upon such that enclosure redirects should always end with the filename ... why not? It's not a question of why not it's a question of why. Is this something that microformats might be able to provide?

Because I'll hop on my miniDV right now and film a short video called Phaser-Spock-Phaser-Spock-Phaser-Phaser-Spock-Spock. See, that's got NOTHING to do with protecting artist's property.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: What makes a good vlog?
hi michael,i always appreciate your input into conversations.i don't, personally have a length requirement on what i consider good. actually, i think it's sad that attention spans have reached the size of commercial spots. there is something to be said for being taken on a visual and auditory journey and not a drive through. i heartily agree with the distinctive voice criterion. also, a distinctive point of view. if you are talking about something that you love or hate, i want to know why. gimme some meat under that gravy!passion yes...but, just making a video makes it mediated. even unexpected, captured moments are mediated once the camera is lifted. i'm beginning to wonder if there really are unmediated moments anymore. maybe on the toilet. smile anneOn 3/16/06, Michael Verdi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sorry to ressurect this long and finished thread but I was away and didn't get to add my 2¢ - and lord knows I love to do that.So I agree with those of you saying good is really good to me. Like all things good it's relative. Outside of that, what I think is good usually (but not always) has these things in common: Short - usually under 5 minutes, often under 3 minutes. I say this not because I'm really opposed to watching longer things but for two basic reasons - 1. it usually requires more work to make something short than to make it long and I appreaciate that. 2. To make something long and have it be as engaging as a well done short piece usually takes more time, energy, money and production skill than the average hobbiest can muster. After a while you might as well be trying to make a TV show or a film. Style and voice - I like things that, even if they are a single shot, have a very distinct style or voice to them. If you're going to be mundane please give us your unique take on that life.Passion or authenticity - I like when I can tell that the person who made it loves what they are doing. I also love when people show me something real and unmeadiated. -Verdi SPONSORED LINKS Individual Fireant Use YAHOO! GROUPS LINKS Visit your group videoblogging on the web.

A few years ago I made a short film about my brother and I playing Star Trek as kids (here's the link all you fellow Star Trek nerds: http://www.michaelverdi.com/video/mjplaystartrek.mov). I wrote to Paramount asking for the right to use the tricorder and transporter sounds. What I got back from them was a letter explaining how I could not use (with no option to license for a fee) those sounds along with the words Spock, Enterprise or Phaser. I just think that's complete bullshit. We didn't play Star Voyages as kids or run around with Quadcorders or something. It was Star Trek. Those are my memories and this film is my way of remembering. I don't really give a shit if you've trademarked that stuff - it's part of the culture and they've benefited from that by both ripping lots of others off in the ideas behind it and in the billions of dollars they've made because of it. Might be of interest... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek%2C_fan_made_productions Paramount Pictures and its licensees are the only organizations legally allowed to create any *commercial* products with the name and trademark Star Trek. Consequently, these fan productions are unauthorized and subject to legal issues. Emphasis on commercial is mine. It always comes down to defining what commercial means, eh?
